Had I known about the iso it would have saved me a lot of time and dollars as well. I thought, at the time, that each volume needed to be purchased seperately. Now I find that all I needed to do is to purchase the lasted volume and that would have given me copies of the ones before that. At the moment I am attempting to read all of the books that I got in the January 2012 bundle and I look forward to the February bundle, which I will purchase as soon as I get a bit more through the January bundle. I have examined the February bundle and I have found that its mostly comprised of dead authors, which is not necessarily bad its just that one can not expect the author to publish any further books, unless modern science has found away for authors to publish from beyond the grave. This is probably worth a Sci-Fi book itself. In my humble opinion I general prefer to read books buy living authors since I can anticipate further books from them and I like the anticipation of the next book in the series.
I wonder what David Weber is working on now? Has he ever said what he is working on? What am I allowed to know what he is working on? Someone somewhare told me that he is working on a second volume to come after A Beautiful Friendship. I wonder how long he is going to go on with the Honor Harringtion novels, there is a little more room to move her up the Manticorian Naval chain of command? If memory serves me right of the books her supervisor is fifth space lord and the chain of command tops out with the first space lord who is also CNO -Chief of Naval Operations.
What I would love to see is a book on the environment in which Honor Haringtion exists, there was another series which had a book on the environment in which the series characters exist and it what excellent. Some of the topics might include: descriptions of some of the characters, a chart of the Manticorian Naval chain of command and perhaps a drawing from fans of Honor and a few of the others.
